‘Tis the Season for Nosebleeds





Mendon, NY (Vocus) September 29, 2010

Allergies, colds and sinus infections are among the leading causes of recurring nosebleeds. In the United States, 35 million people suffer with nasal allergies; 31 million people experience sinus infections; and more than one billion colds are reported annually.

All of these conditions can lead to a bloody nose as a result of: swelling and irritation of the nasal cavities; side effects of certain medications used to treat the condition, particularly steroid nasal sprays; and excessive nasal dryness caused by frequent use of nasal decongestants.

Now sufferers searching for how to stop a bloody nose have an alternative to tissues and nose pinching. NasalCEASE® is available over the counter and is the quickest and most convenient way to stop nosebleeds. NasalCEASE® will stop a bloody nose quickly, allowing sufferers to quickly get back to what they were doing.

NasalCEASE® is easy to use and painless. Just twist the soft fiber material, pack it in the nasal cavity, and go on with your activities. This natural based bio-polymer –100% calcium alginate – provides the remedy nose bleed sufferers need. As soon as NasalCEASE® comes in contact with blood, calcium is released. Calcium is a coagulant which actively aids in quickly stopping the nose bleed. Calcium is released until the bleeding has completely ceased.

Calcium alginate can absorb up to twenty times its weight. As a result, 90-plus percent of nosebleeds can be effectively treated with just one NasalCEASE® packing. The nose bleed sufferer can easily insert NasalCEASE® and forget about it until the recommended removal, thirty minutes later.

Marjorie Payne from Centennial, Colorado said, “I am prone to seasonal nosebleeds and I am so happy to have found a product that works so well. Some of my nosebleeds have taken over an hour to stop using a tissue plug and ice and pressure. NasalCEASE® has quickly stopped my nosebleeds.”

Research shows that 30% of all U.S. households have one or more sufferers of frequent nosebleeds including children and adults of all ages and both genders. In addition to allergies, colds and sinus infections, other major causes of recurring nosebleeds include: people with Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT); those taking blood thinners; people with blood-based diseases such as hemophilia and Von Willebrand’s disease; cancer patients being treated by chemo or radiation therapy; and women who are pregnant. Not to mention the thousands of nosebleeds caused by contact sports activities like football, soccer and wrestling.

NasalCEASE® is 100% safe, without side effects and without any contraindications with other medications. NasalCEASE® is sold in boxes containing five sterile packs. Each sterile pack treats one nose bleed. The individual sterile packs can be conveniently stored and can be easily carried in a purse or pocket, ensuring easy accessibility whenever and wherever a nosebleed should occur.

Dr. Terrance J. Kwiatkoski, M.D., ENT of Bullhead City, AZ, recommends NasalCEASE® to his patients. “I have been recommending NasalCEASE® to my epistaxis patients for over four years now with great success. My patients find it stops their nosebleeds quickly and safely. As opposed to other alternatives, they also find it easier to use, allowing them to quickly get back to what they were doing at the onset of their nosebleed.”

NasalCEASE® is available in the first-aid section at national chain pharmacies such as CVS/pharmacy, and independent pharmacies. If a pharmacy does not carry NasalCEASE®, they can order it from their wholesaler for customer pick-up within twenty-four to forty-eight hours.

Seasonal allergy sufferers who have recurring nosebleeds can request a trial sample of NasalCEASE® and in coupons and healthcare professionals can request free patient sample kits by visiting www.nasalcease.com or by calling Catalina Healthcare at 1-800-650-NOSE (6673).

Dr Paul Clayton -Do Vitamin supplements work?

www.drpaulclayton.com Getting The Combination At one time you would have had to buy the nutrients I recommend individually. However buying the nutrients separately is expensive, and tiresome, so a combination brand can be a better buy. Combination Brands There are two manufacturers offering a formula that I think qualifies as comprehensive: the Uni-Vite NutriShield brand and Solgar Advanced Formula. The Solgar Advanced Formula is among the best of the retail brands. NutriShield is more advanced as it incorporates all the nutrients that I think are important, including betaine, glucosamine, lycopene, Q10 and Omega 3 fish oil – which Solgar omits. You can find NutriShield on www.nutrishield.com Solgar Advanced Formula is available at specialist health food shops. Dr Paul Clayton graduated summa cum laude in Medical Pharmacology from Edinburgh University, prior to obtaining his PhD.

Alternative Remedies For Fibroids – How to Shrink Fibroids Without Surgery

Alternative Remedies For Fibroids – How to Shrink Fibroids Without Surgery

There are various alternative remedies for fibroids which have been used with varying degrees of success. If you are diagnosed with fibroids, you may be advised to do nothing at all as they are likely to shrink at the time of the menopause.

However, if you have unbearable symptoms which might include bloating, heavy bleeding, discomfort during intercourse and exhaustion, you will be in no doubt that you wish to do something to alleviate your symptoms.

Conventional treatments are usually surgical in nature and as with any surgical procedures, they should only be undertaken if absolutely necessary. The very nature of fibroids means that they are very rarely dangerous or life threatening, so this gives women the opportunity to be discerning about which type of treatment to choose.

The causes of fibroids are thought to be multifaceted and indeed, many doctors are undecided on the exact causes. However, there is no doubt that there are certain common factors which predispose a woman to fibroids and these include:-

* Being overweight

* Having a family history of fibroids

* Being of Afro-Caribbean descent

* Having unbeknown exposure to pollutants or environmental toxins

* Having a build up of toxins in the body

* Being prone to inflammatory conditions As there is no medical reason to rush your treatment, it makes complete sense to try out alternative remedies for fibroids before consenting to invasive treatments.

A word of warning though. To be successful, you need to bear in mind that you will need to play an active part in the process and you will need to make various lifestyle and dietary changes. The good news is that most women, when following the process correctly, will see a dramatic reduction in their fibroids. Your own treatment will depend on an analysis of your lifestyle and circumstances to determine the most likely reasons why you have fibroids.

For many women, high estrogen levels are a likely cause as this hormone is known to fuel fibroid growth. A general reduction in estrogen levels often forms a part of most treatment plans and this can usually be achieve by maintaining a healthy weight, as estrogen is both stored in, and produced by, fat cells. Other women may have high levels of harmful pollutants locked in the liver and these can mimic the action of estrogen. The only way to remove this is to follow a particular form of detox which might include herbs such as milk thistle and dandelion.

It is thought that some women might develop fibroids as they are prone to inflammatory conditions. One simple step which might be included would be eating foods which are naturally anti-inflammatory in nature, such as oats, hops and cumin.

There is a comprehensive system which has been proven to shrink fibroids naturally. Developed by an alternative practitioner, it has helped many thousands of women worldwide to Shrink Fibroids Naturally

Please bear in mind though, this requires you to be proactive and take charge of your own healing by making dietary and lifestyle changes and following a systematic program-it is not suitable for women who simply want to take a tablet and be cured. Are you ready to get rid of your fibroids once and for all? For further general information and to find out full details of the system, please visit Alternative Remedies For Fibroids

Feinstein Institute Becomes Home to Prestigious Federally-Funded Center on Parkinson’s Disease




Manhasset, NY (Vocus) September 29, 2010

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) announced today that The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research has been endowed as one of the Morris K. Udall Centers of Excellence in Parkinson’s Disease Research. The federal initiative to select research institutes dedicated to the study of Parkinson’s and create a Center of Excellence was started to advance cutting-edge research on is this movement disorder, which affects at least 500,000 in the US, according to NINDS estimates. The addition of two new centers — the Feinstein Institute and Emory University in Atlanta — adds new dimensions to the 9 other centers that have been selected since the program began in 1997. The NINDS grants will provide a five-year investment totaling more than million for both research institutes.

David Eidelberg, MD, a pioneer in brain imaging in Parkinson’s, directs the Feinstein Institute’s Susan and Leonard Feinstein Center for Neurosciences in Manhasset, NY. Dr. Eidelberg and his colleagues have spent decades using imaging to capture the diseased brain. The images have allowed them to identify discrete large-scale networks damaged in the disease process. By developing a non-invasive method to measure the activity of abnormal networks in brain images from living patients, Dr. Eidelberg’s approach had led to new insights into the natural history of Parkinson’s disease and its treatment.

“This award recognizes the significant contribution made over the years in the use of advanced functional imaging technology to further the understanding of Parkinson’s disease,” said Dr. Eidelberg. “As part of the Udall Center, scientists at the Feinstein Institute will continue to utilize novel imaging techniques and computational approaches to better understand the impact of treatment on brain organization. This knowledge will create the basis for more effective therapies for patients with this debilitating neurological disorder.”

As part of the mission of the Udall Centers, the investigators at the 11 institutions will share their expertise in an effort to speed the development of new treatments to stop, slow or prevent Parkinson’s disease.

NINDS Director Story Landis, Ph.D., made the announcement of the awards today at the World Parkinson Congress in Glasgow, Scotland. The congress is an international forum where scientists, health care providers, physicians, patients, family and caregivers meet to share the latest developments in Parkinson’s disease.

“For more than a decade, the Udall Centers of Excellence have represented our commitment to bring together the talent and effort of the foremost investigators advancing research in Parkinson’s disease,” said Dr. Landis. “I look forward to these new centers partnering with us to accelerate basic, translational and clinical research to find a cure for this devastating illness.”

The research institutes awarded Udall Center grants have a wide range of expertise in Parkinson’s research. While the Feinstein specializes in imaging and identifying the brain networks damaged in patients and progressively worsening throughout the disease process, other centers focus on genetic and genomic studies, work to improve animal models, the development and testing of potential medicines and clinical research with Parkinson’s disease patients. The Feinstein team also will continue to work with patients who suffer serious clinical side effects from levodopa and scan their brains throughout the disease course to examine individual differences in the cognitive response to treatment. They are also developing a novel imaging method that will allow them to identify damaged brain circuits at the earliest stage of the disease. This may ultimately help to better diagnose Parkinson’s as well as developing treatments that specifically target these brain circuit changes.

The NINDS launched the program in 1997. The Udall Centers are named in honor of U.S. Rep. Morris K. Udall (D-Ariz.) He died in 1998 after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease.

The neurodegenerative disorder attacks a specific set of dopaminergic neurons in areas of the brain that control movement and cognition. There are treatments that deliver dopamine to these hard-hit areas and help with the movement-related symptoms – tremor, stiffness, slow gait — but there are no treatments that slow the underlying disease process.

The NINDS’s web site provides more detailed information about the Udall Centers, visit www.ninds.nih.gov/research/parkinsonsweb/udall_centers/.

About The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research

Headquartered in Manhasset, NY, The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research is home to international scientific leaders in cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, psychiatric disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, sepsis, inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, human genetics, neuroimmunology, and medicinal chemistry. Feinstein researchers are developing new drugs and drug targets, and producing results where science meets the patient, annually enrolling some 10,000 subjects into clinical research programs.

5 Reasons Why You Should Take Vitamin, Mineral And Antioxidant Supplements

5 Reasons Why You Should Take Vitamin, Mineral And Antioxidant Supplements

There is a vitamin, mineral and antioxidant supplement store in almost every shopping mall in the United States. We can also find vitamin, mineral and antioxidant supplement shelves in almost every super market. More and more people are taking food supplements today.

But there are quite a few people who still refuse to take vitamin, mineral and antioxidant supplements. They think that their diet is good enough and that they do not need to take any supplements. Theoretically what they are saying may be true, but in reality it is not possible to obtain all your nutritional needs from just the food you consume.

Here are 5 reasons why vitamin, mineral and antioxidant supplements are necessary in our daily life:

1. Eating a healthy and well-balanced diet every day is a difficult task.
The USDA Food Consumption Survey discovered that only 3 % of those surveyed actually ate healthful and balanced diets. And no one met the RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowances – which are set by the U. S. government about daily intakes.) consumption of vitamins and minerals.

2. The food you eat now does not contain the same amount of nutrition as it did in the past.
The nutrients in a soil have been exhausted over the years and the vegetables and fruits grown on the farm have been loosing its nutritious values. Therefore, the same amount of broccoli, for instance, contains less calcium and vitamin C than it did 50 years ago.

3. The over processed and preservative added food removes important nutrients.
Consuming even a very good diet is not sufficient if most of the nutrients, vitamins and minerals in our food are diminished by over processing and adding preservatives.

4. The RDA is only the lowest level of nutrient intakes that will prevent deficiencies in apparently healthy human beings.
The RDA was developed originally to help people reduce the rates of contracting severe nutritional deficiencies, like scurvy, rickets, beriberi and so forth which are rarely seen in our modern world. Instead, what we should be concerned with in this industrialized world are the degenerative diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, osteoporosis and so forth. In order to prevent the degenerative diseases, we need to consume every day the optimal level of nutrients, beyond the RDA recommended level.

5. Complete nutritional intake is necessary for optimal health.
Using scientifically researched, complete and balanced, and quality nutritional supplements assures the necessary dietary intake for optimal health.

Choosing the quality vitamin, mineral and antioxidant supplements with safety, balance, completeness and potency in mind will help apparently healthy people stay healthy while lowering the provability of contracting degenerative diseases and enjoying a healthier and longer life.

Little Unknown Wonder: Herbal Essiac Tea Working Wonders in Peoples Lives-natures Alternative Remedy

Little Unknown Wonder: Herbal Essiac Tea Working Wonders in Peoples Lives-natures Alternative Remedy

Today with all the emphasis put on staying fit we are always looking for that magical pill. It’s no secret that we live in a society today that wants instant gratification.

I was reading an article about the Amish. In the article it said that Amish tend to live on a high fat and high cholesterol diet. Yet even with their eating habits they do not suffer with obesity or heart problems and other health related problems. Why? Well there are several answers to that question. One answer is that these people are very physically active. They work hard!

Also I believe that one of the many reasons are, is that they are not dependent on the drug companies to cure their ills. No people on God’s green earth are more likely to be using home remedies past down from generation to generation.

Where am I going with all of this? The simple fact is that yes there are times when we may have no other alternative but to use prescription drugs. But I truly believe in always searching out the all natural alternative remedies. We at www.essiac-tea-for-diabetes.com are very proud to be selling the best all natural herbal remedy for all types of ills, not just diabetes. No this article is not to sell you on our site but to hopefully sell you on the world of alternative remedies. Sure there are many natural remedies out there. Which one does someone chose? The truth of the matter is, only you can decide what’s right for you. Decision making is made easy by knowing someone personally who has had great results on some certain natural remedy. Speaking from our own personal use and the results that we have experienced, we can honestly say that essiac tea is a God sent. Hey life is a journey, right? We don’t know what’s around the next bend. We use road maps to find our way along the many roads we travel. This article is meant to be a road map on your journey back to good health.

One more thing I’d like to point out. Why, when people get cancer are they given chemo? It’s a known fact that chemo destroys the immune system. Shouldn’t the doctors be giving their patients something that will build their immune system to help the body fight off the cancer? A body that has a strong immune system has a better chance at fighting off cancer. Our essiac tea builds a strong immune system. This is why it is so beneficial to your health. Follow this link http://www.essiac-tea-for-diabetes.com/melanoma.html to read how our essiac tea helped my wife’s mother with her battle against melanoma cancer. She was 88yrs. old when she was diagnosed with her cancer. At that age there was no way we were going to allow the doctors to use chemo on her. She’s been cancer free for over a year now!!

Essiac Tea has worked wonders on my wife’s diabetes. She was not able to get her blood sugar levels in the normal range even on medication. Not only did the tea get her blood sugar levels in the normal range but it also helped her with her hypo thyroid condition. The doctor lowered her medication dosages on both her diabetes and her hypo thyroid conditions. Now my wife who has been on thyroid medication for over 30 yrs. has never had her dosage ever lowered. Raised, yes, lowered, no. Ever since she started drinking essiac tea faithfully she has had her thyroid meds lowered 3 times.

So as you can see we have learned from first hand experience that this tea creates a strong immune system. 8 herbal ingredients make up this tea. Clinically proven by Rene Caisse and Dr. Brusch to be the most effective essiac tea. Who are these people? Well Rene was a nurse who discovered this tea that was originally created by the Canadian Ojibway Indians. Rene met Dr. Brusch who was personal physician to President John F. Kennedy and ran the Brusch Medical Clinic in Cambridge, Mass. Together they ran thousands of clinical studies to create the best essiac tea. Dr Brusch also treated himself with essiac tea when he came down with cancer. Dr. Brusch defeated cancer with this tea alone.

After having been exposed through the years of how well Essiac tea works I am still truly amazed! I have seen first hand health restored through the faithful use of Essiac. Being convinced that the only remedy for any disease was doctor prescribed medicinal drugs I am now a convert to alternative health remedies.
